Chapter 210 Lure the enemy
After Jia Xu surrendered to Cao Cao, Chen Yang was first ordered to sell salt. Although Chen Yang later turned him into a strategist, it was useless.
Especially following Chen Yang, with his strength, Jia Xu's full of tricks was useless, so he could only help Chen Yang.
At this moment, Jia Xu finally found an opportunity to say a sentence or two and express himself.
"I didn't expect that the person who understands me the most was Wenhe!" Chen Yang nodded and smiled.
What Jia Xu said was exactly what Chen Yang thought.
"How can this strengthen Wen Chou's confidence?" Xun Yu asked a little puzzled.
Even after hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu curiously, wanting to know how to do it.
However, Jia Xu looked at Chen Yang. He did not dare to speak nonsense until he got Chen Yang's consent.
"Wenhe, you can listen to your opinions." Chen Yang said.
Jia Xu was relieved. He only thought for a moment and said, "Wen Chou got our food and grass, and found that we dared not do anything to him, so he would be proud and complacent!"
"A arrogant soldier will be defeated!" Cao Cao added.
"That's right!"
Jia Xu nodded again and continued, "General Chen's meaning is to make Wen Chou proud gradually. Food and grass are just one of them. If I'm not mistaken, after Wen Chou gets our food and grass, he will soon attack us."
According to Jia Xu's time with Chen Yang, his understanding of Chen Yang is deeper.
Therefore, Chen Yang's thoughts were almost done by him.
"I think Wen Chou is already on the way to attack us. After he got the food and grass, he couldn't wait for a long time to be proud and complacent." Chen Yang said.
However, as soon as his words were finished, a scout rushed in outside, and heard him anxiously: "Report to the Prime Minister, Wen Chou led an army of 70,000 and is rushing towards our direction!"
"It's really... it's really here!"
Xun Yu said in surprise.
"Zi'an, what should I do now? We all follow your instructions!"
Cao Cao said decisively that things have come to this point, and he felt that only Chen Yang could lead them out of the predicament.
As long as he thought that Chen Yang defeated Yan Liang's 50,000 people with eight thousand people on the white horse, Cao Cao was full of confidence in him.
"Go over there!"
Chen Yang raised his head and pointed to a hill in the south and said.
Although the hill is not too high, it can be considered a favorable position nearby. Moreover, there are trees on the hill, which can effectively prevent the Yuan army from attacking in. The most important thing is to hide people.
"Walk!"
Cao Cao immediately ordered all the soldiers to walk towards the hills as soon as possible.
"Order the soldiers to take off their clothes and armor, throw away all unnecessary supplies, and release all the war horses."
After arriving at the hill, Chen Yang said again: "Also, General Xiahou Yuan, you lead 5,000 people to escape in the direction of the white horse, but you should make as great a sound as possible, giving them the feeling that our entire army is fleeing to the white horse! But don't go far, just hear the shouts of killing in the rear, and come back immediately."
Xiahou Yuan looked at Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao nodded, he hurriedly said, "Okay!"
After saying that, Xiahou Yuan immediately took the soldiers away from the hill without any ambiguity.
As for the soldiers and armor, some unnecessary supplies, and some war horses, Xiahou Yuan ordered to run and throw them away on the way to escape.
"Zi'an, are you luring the enemy?" Xun Yu finally saw something.
"That's right, we have few people. Only by using Wen Chou's psychology in this way can I kill Wen Chou later." Chen Yang said again, "Prime Minister, we have to hide in the woods. Don't be discovered. General Xiahou can better attract Wen Chou."
Cao Cao immediately ordered the entire army to hide.
At the same time, Xiahou Yuan had already walked a long way with five thousand people. He did it so loudly, creating a feeling that everyone was running away, which immediately attracted Wen Chou's attention.
"Cao Zhe is going to escape back to the white horse, speed up and intercept them!"
Wen Chou shouted loudly, and then all the soldiers and horses flew around the hills and chased Xiahou Yuan desperately.
However, they had not yet walked far and found that along the way there were all kinds of things that were discarded by Xiahou Yuan and the others, and even war horses.
Seeing this scene, Wen Chou was overjoyed. He only thought that Cao Cao had abandoned all his things in order to facilitate his escape, and this would be a dead end.
"Come here, go and grab the horses and grab the baggage, hurry!"
In order to inspire people, Wen Chou shouted again: "All the things you snatch belong to you!"
He only thought that he would win Cao Cao, and a 70,000 army surrounded 10,000 people. It was difficult for him to find a reason for not winning, so he did not take Cao Cao seriously at all.
As long as Cao Cao was killed, Wen Chou could imagine how his status with Yuan Shao was soaring.
After hearing Wen Chou's words, all the soldiers suddenly became excited as if they were injected with chicken blood and rushed forward. The soldiers did not follow the team and were confused, and soon they would be in chaos. However, Wen Chou didn't care.
On the nearby hills, Chen Yang and the others only appeared after Wen Chou left.
Seeing the soldiers in Wen Chou’s army messing around to steal things, Chen Yang knew that his plan had succeeded.
"It really strengthened Wen Chou's confidence and defeated him with one blow!"
Xun Yu said in surprise: "Now that Yuan's army is in chaos, it is a good opportunity for us to counterattack. As long as we can attack from the rear, Yuan's army will be even more chaotic than it is now. Zi'an, you are really amazing!"
"I'm just using a little trick!"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Prime Minister, now is a good opportunity to deal with Wen Chou."
"The whole army attacked!"
Cao Cao immediately ordered.
Then, the remaining five thousand soldiers around him, plus Chen Yang's original eight thousand men, were not afraid of Wen Chou's 70,000 people, and directly killed them.
Xiahou Yuan and others who were walking in the front also stopped at this moment. Listening to the endless shouts of killing in the back, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Transfer our military orders and kill them all!"
After a while, the two sides finally started to confront each other.
Among Cao's army, the first one to rush up were the cavalry. The crossbows in their hands pulled the trigger together, and the arrows fell like rain in an instant.
The powerful crossbow arrows shot and killed many soldiers on the outermost side, and more soldiers finally found the ambush behind them, and then they became even more chaotic.
"Ambushes, there's an ambush!"
"We are surrounded by Cao's army, and we are already surrounded!"
"Go away!"
The messy voices sounded among the Wen Chou Army, and the soldiers who went to snatch things were even more inconsistent. They pushed me, I pushed you, and then crowded with each other.
Until someone fell down, the stampede began. Before they could fight against Cao's army, many soldiers were trampled to death by the people around them.
Seeing this, Wen Chou was stunned. He soon realized that he had been trapped and quickly rectified the soldiers. However, amid the noise, his voice seemed particularly powerless.
"Design the formation!"
As the leader, Xiahou Dun arranged a formation to compete with Yuan’s army according to the battle formation taught by Chen Yang.
"Cao Cao, I'm going to kill you!"
Wen Chou shouted loudly and shouted: "Don't be messed up, follow me to fight out!"
Then, Wen Chou ignored the other soldiers, and rode his horse into Cao's army with a long spear in his hand.
Wen Chou was indeed brave. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Cao army soldiers were killed by him.
"Wen Chou is really a famous general in Hebei, and he is extremely brave. Who can capture him?" Cao Cao looked at the movements on the battlefield and asked the soldiers around him again.
"I am willing to capture him!"
